Riad Laora

This is a type of room for those interested in experiencing Moroccan living inside of the old city. No cars can drive through the old city. The driver calls the Riad and you are picked up outside of the city walls. My wife was not comfortable with the accommodation, but even though we were only there for 5 Hours, we both got some really good sleep. This Place Is Definitely Not For The Spoiled And In Need Of Pampering. Host Was Extremely Pleasant And Helpful..

Located deep in the Marrakech medina. Requires quite bit of walking to get there, but many sites are nearby. The room was comfortable, clean and very attractive. Nice breakfast provided.

The staff was helpful and nice. Not exactly a spa as we didn’t see any spa or were told of any services they offered. The room itself was cute and clean. It was easy to find and close to the market square. Technically it has a pool but it’s not big enough to swim in, it’s more like a bathtub and it’s off placement isn’t very inticing. The breakfast and WiFi were a nice touch though.

The Riad itself was very nice, a little safe haven to escape the chaos. Breakfast was reasonable and the rooms were cosy. My main problem was the location. The Riad is in a rough area, my partner (female) was subject to constant harassment and abuse in the few thin and dark alleyways leading to the Riad even though she was always well covered and respectful. We didn’t get this to the same extent in the other parts of the medina, it was disconcerting and made us not want to return late at night, for fear of what would happen next.
